Charly’s parents realized soon after his birth that she had a hearing problem, because she was not reacting in any way to sounds. She was going to need a hearing aid pretty quick. And she got one. When they turned it on, her reaction was awesome.
She laughed and cooed and puffed up, and gave just about every other facial expression a tiny baby can give. Charly looked completely amazed that she could actually hear her mother talking to her. It was a beautiful moment between a mother and her child. Even as tiny babies, children can pick up on the words that are spoken around them from adults.
For any child with a hearing loss, it’s extremely important to fit them with a hearing aid as soon as possible. This way, they can develop better and keep pace with other children their age. This is why Charly’s parents made sure their little girl was given the opportunity to hear sounds just like other little babies.
It was important to them, as it would be for any parent, that their baby hear their voices and begin to understand things. And THAT’S certainly understandable.
